David,

VAL fields of string records are hardcoded to be 40 characters.  I would use a waveform record, data type = char, length = 8.  This will always return a character array ... size 8.

When you setup a String input or output record, how do you limit the
length, or can you?

I need to setup a String Output that outputs 8 characters.  no more, no
less.
